 3.125% Convertible Senior Note due 2014 
 This Note is one of a duly authorized issuance of Notes of the Company, designated as its 3.125% Convertible Senior Notes due 2014 (herein called the
“Notes”), limited to the aggregate principal amount of $200,000,000 (or $230,000,000 if the Initial Purchaser exercises its option to purchase additional Notes in full as set forth in the Purchase Agreement) all issued or to be
issued under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of August 4, 2008 (herein called the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association (herein called the “Trustee”), to which Indenture and
all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the holders of the Notes. 
 In case an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, including any Extension
Fee or Additional Interest, on all Notes may be declared, by either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, and upon said declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with
the effect and subject to the conditions and certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture. 
 Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the
Company will make all payments and deliveries in respect of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the principal amount on the Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the holder who surrenders a Note to a Paying Agent to collect such payments in
respect of the Note. The Company will pay cash amounts in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. 
 The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee in certain circumstances, without the consent of the holders of the Notes, and in other circumstances, with the consent of the holders of not
less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, evidenced as in the Indenture provided, to execute supplemental indentures modifying the terms of the Indenture and the Notes as described therein. It is also
provided in the Indenture that, subject to certain exceptions, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may on behalf of the holders of all of the Notes waive any past Default or Event of Default
under the Indenture and its consequences. 
 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the
obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, and any Extension Fee or Additional Interest, on this Note at the place, at the respective times, at the rate

face hereof, and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of
Notes of other authorized denominations, without payment of any service charge but, if required by the Company or Trustee, with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessments or other governmental charges that may be imposed in connection
therewith as a result of the name of the holder of the new Notes issued upon such exchange of Notes being different from the name of the holder of the old Notes surrendered for such exchange. 
 The Notes are not subject to redemption through the operation of any sinking fund or otherwise. 
 Upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the holder has the right, at such holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all of such holder’s Notes or any portion thereof (in principal
amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof) on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date at a price equal to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. 
 Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the holder hereof has the right, at its option, during certain periods and upon the occurrence of certain conditions specified in the Indenture, prior to the close of business on the second
scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, to convert any Notes or portion thereof that is $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, into cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, as
applicable, at a Conversion Rate specified in the Indenture, as adjusted from time to time as provided in the Indenture.
